Winter White Sangria
Description
Winter White Sangria features a mix of crisp apple and pear slices, juicy mandarin orange segments, and fresh cranberries steeped overnight with cinnamon sticks, star anise, candied ginger, and a hint of salt. This infusion allows the spices and fruit flavors to meld. Just before serving, sparkling dry white wine is added over ice to create a refreshing, effervescent beverage with subtle spice and fruit complexity. The drink is intentionally unsweetened to maintain dryness, but sweetness can be added by stirring in honey or maple syrup if preferred.
This sangria suits festive winter gatherings or any occasion where a cold, light alcoholic drink with a seasonal fruit and spice profile is desired. It pairs well with light appetizers or as a standalone casual cocktail.
